The Eternal Empire ‘We march for home, For Law and Justice. We have taken a oath, the one we honor. We carry the flames, the breath of Zildrog. We are the Zakuul, we are the Eternal!’ ‘We have all but improved our great civilization and society, we’ve shown the Galaxy who we are. We have taken our oath, committed to our Empire. We have travelled the stars to bring the Galaxy to its knees. Justice does not follow borders, law does not know its limits. Corruption will shatter.’ The Knights are officially considered protectors of the people, seekers - and destroyers- of corruption within the Eternal Empire. The Knights don't limit themselves to either side, instead teaching balance and careful exploration. Each Knight has their own relationships, but are encouraged to share their findings with the rest of the order. No area is deemed too weak or too dangerous - all remain part of a larger, limitless power. Ultimately, every action a Knight takes is to honour and serve their Empire. Sacrifices, whether material, or otherwise are essential to show one's commitment to the Empire. Becoming a Knight is considered a great honor. ‘We’re not without Mercy, we’re not mindless beasts dominating your homes. Surrender and we’ll show mercy, stand against us and we will destroy you.’ The Oath we take: We strive to become the elite. Ambition is strongly encouraged in the Knights, and you should deepen your personal bond with each other and use it to enact the Empire's justice. The people of Zakuul have always looked up to the Knights, and once you take your oath you will be expected to commit your entire life to becoming the very best. Training does not end when you become a Knight; it only begins anew. Within the order, you should be ready to share your knowledge with your fellows-in-arms, as knowledge is the key to eliminating ignorance. Success on the battlefield against the brainless soldiers of our foes is precisely due to the knowledge and excellence of the Knights. Defend our standards: We are dedicated to shattering all corruption, whether within the Old Empire, the Republic, or even within the Eternal Empire itself. It is part of our solemn duty to make sure that any corruption is cleansed from existence. With our resources and our resolve, there is no excuse for any mercy or sloth in removing this cancerous tumour from our beloved Empire. We are committed to protecting our way of life, and where necessary, enforcing it. Diplomacy and Understanding: With justice, comes reason. Different cultures find themselves in constant struggle, but not all victories in this struggle must come at the cost of violence and suffering. Our society is built upon diplomacy and reason. It is often the foundation to greater success than battle, if both sides endeavour in its pursuit. A Knight should always be rational and considered in their approach, and your training will reflect this as well as more martial pursuits. Knowledge always defeats ignorance, and a greater mind defeats the lesser. It is only through such knowledge that laws may be imposed and enforced unquestioned. The Knights Focus: - Training: Learning the ways of the game and how to war effectivly - Law enforcement within the Eternal Empire - Politics: Negotiations and Alliances - Fighting any kind of threat, corruption to and within Eternal Empire Requirements: We don't currently have any stat requirements but will in the very near future
